I had a melanoma removal, with SLNB, in summer 2021. Over the last six months or so, maybe longer, I have a red spot appear on the scar randomly, normally when I sleep. It fades, and even sometimes moves across the scar, over the course of a few hours. Then disappears each time.
Today it has appeared in the evening, which is new.
Ive told my nurse I see at my plastic appointment and was told to ‘keep an eye’
anyone any ideas
So, last night it appeared on one side of my scar, it then disappeared but has reappeared over the last half an hour on the other side of my scar.
